It’s now law — no secret balloting, no strike

On January 1 one of the key amendments of the Labour Relations Amendment Act of 2018 came into effect. This requires trade unions and employer organisations to amend their constitutions to make provision for secret ballotting before a trade union can call on its members to strike, or an employer organisation can lock out striking employees.

While the amendment, together with others, came into effect on January 1, there are what is referred to as “transitional provisions”. These require trade unions or employer organisations to amend their constitutions to include secret ballotting, which must be done within a period of 180 days . In my view, this labour court judgment has opened avenues for employers to interdict a strike called by a trade union that has not conducted secret ballotting of its members beforehand. It is important to note that this similarly affects employer organisations: no secret ballotting, no lockout.
